The Houston Texans Select: Margus Hunt, DE/OLB Souther Methodist University

(Margus will be a stand-up pass rushing OLB)

That is a massive OLB. I don't think he would translate to OLB, very stiff at times, but im surprised he is still on the board.

I think he can be a pretty good stand up rusher. If not, I'll move him to DE and pair him up with Watt.

But Jason Taylor and Mario Williams (6'6) both were OLB one time. Both are two inches shorter than Hunt and probably a lot more athletic than Hunt. Though, I believe Hunt could be decent there at olb.

I don't think Jason Taylor ever topped 250 lbs, for as tall as he was, he was relatively light, and Mario Williams is just a freak, only real comparison to his athletic ability was Peppers. There is a reason most of the best pass rushing OLB's in the nfl are under 6'4" or under, you need to be a lot more agile to play OLB and with more height, usually means less agility.

I personally think Hunt is going to bust, but if you think he's going to pan out then it's great value with his athleticism and upside. He's just too stiff, and has too much trouble getting around the edge because of his size for me. Combine that with bad leverage, and poor tackling, and he's way too big of a risk in my personal opinion....

I think he gets one year with Blackmon and Wallace to prove himself unless someone offers me a good deal for him....

Only 2 picks today??? Damn, I thought for sure today would be the busiest as it was Sunday.... I guess not. :(

I'm thinkin' we should go 6 hours max.

It would be so incredibly easy for the next 3 or 4 GMs after the Panthers to PM DCK their top 2 or 3 picks on their board right now.

*hint*

    • Incorrect, I have watched us consistently over quite a number of years. When I say Cam relied on athleticism, I simply mean his dual threat style and athleticism overshadowed the deficiencies in the passing game (his own or those created by the system).  Now I wouldn’t disagree that our OCs over that time were not amazing and arguably held him back, but correct me if I’m wrong, Cam had a habit of locking onto his receivers and overthrowing them. Gettleman even drafted two big receivers - Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess - to give Cam receivers with a big catch radius.  Again, correct me if I’m wrong, but Cam had some mechanical issues. For example, the reliance on arm strength over touch and his footwork often led to him throwing off the back foot. There were many debates on these boards about his mechanics, with far more knowledgeable posters than I braking down what he needed to improve on. End of the day, I was as big a Cam fan as the next person, but he did have his shortcomings as a passer. Had he played under someone like Sean McVay or a similar offensive guru, with a high quality QB coach, then I’m sure they would have ironed out the kinks and he would have been far more dangerous and successful than he was. And that’s a scary thought of what he could have been under the likes of a McVay! 
    • It's true that we are not scoring at a much higher clip than the Saints. They're averaging ~18.4 with Shough and in that same span we're averaging ~19, so pretty close, despite Bryce having better TD numbers over that period. Both our teams are a far, far cry from the NFL average of 23.3...
    • I like when this big kat is going crazy panther fan and not the pat jersey betting against persona.
